let you leave that day let you walk on by 
breaking up would pay but you had far more pride 
if i could give would god accept me 
tried so hard to live oh why did you have to go out of my life
never got the chance to say goodbye 

(tell me why) 
did you fly away hey woah baby 
(tell me why) 
why, why did you fly away hey 

sat along the bay watched the stars in the sky seems like yesterday
that you were by my side if i could give would you still want me and would you forgive
oh why did you have to go out of my life never got the chance to say goodbye 

you flew away you flew away 
you left, you flew away 
this heart it aches oh babe 
you flew away and i cry, i pray each night to god 

you flew away you flew away 
you left, you flew away 
this heart it aches oh babe 
you flew away and i cry, i pray each night to god 

why you wanna fly yeah (why`d ya fly) 
why you wanna fly away why you wanna fly yeah (why`d ya fly)
listen now baby baby 

why why
why did you fly away hey oh baby (tell me why) 
tell me why, tell me why did you fly away hey
yeah, yeah why`d ya fly why`d ya fly baby baby..
